Bill Caption
Relating to the administrative attachment of the Texas Forensic Science Commission to the Office of Court Administration of the Texas Judicial System.
Fiscal Notes
From the Legislative Budget Board: No significant fiscal implication to the State is anticipated.
Bill Analysis
Currently, the Texas Forensic Science Commission is administratively attached to Sam Houston State University and the Board of Regents of the Texas State University System provides administrative support to the commission. SB 1124 would administratively attach the Texas Forensic Science Commission to the Office of Court Administration of the Texas Judicial System and remove it from Sam Houston State University.
Vote Recommendation Notes
This is a procedural bill regarding the administration of the Texas Forensic Science Commission and does not appear to have a connection to our liberty principles, therefore we remain neutral.
